A NIGHT OFF

Augustin Dalys great success, "A Night Of" will be presented at Carli's Opera House next Friday and Saturday, April 8 aud 9, with Saturday matinee. "A Night Of" has been seen in this city before and it is not necessary to speak of it's successful presentation. The play is the funniest and are ludicrous in the extreme. The charac ters are well drawn and distinct. It IS free from any suggestion of coarseness and vul- parity

NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.

A fair-sized audience greeted Mrs. D. F.
 Bowers and her excellent company in the
 historical play Elizabeth" at the New Ha-
 ven Opera House last evening. Mrs. Bow CTS has no rival among American artistes in the school of drama she represents. No &C., tress now on our stage has the tragic force, the majestic mien and the admirable stage
 presence she displayed last evening in Giac-
 commetti's greatest drama. To these rare
 gifts are added a rich, musical voice and
 perfect e1ocution. The play has always
 been favorite with the lovers ot historical
 drama. It's title role requires the same pow
 CTS in the very few actresses who have dared
 to assume it as those more frequently seen
 when Lawrence Barrett or Edwin Booth DOT
 tray the character of 'FRichelieu.' The sup
 porting company is an excellent one. MT.
 Joseph Wheelock as Robert, Earl of Els sex,'' had part well suited to him, and won even more than his share in the applause. MT. John A. Lane, who for many years sup ported John Mccullough, and MT. Charles J Fyffe, who used to play "Pythias" to E. L Davenport's Damon" are both sterling actors and ably sustained their parts. Tn. entire company has evidently been selected with great care and is capable of rendering first class support in every play in Mrs. Bow ers' repertoire. Tonight "Mary Stuart'' will be given, tomorrow afternoon 'tLady Aud ! leys Secret" and tomorrow evening "Mac | beth" Every one of these performances de ! serves large audience.

 HARTFORD CHURCHES GETTING CLEAR OF THEIR DEBT.
 It is only short time since the effort to raise the debt of St. Thomas church was be- gun, but, through the strenuous exertions of the rector, the Rev. P. H. Whaley and others, the task has been already accomplished, aud the fact was announced Sunday. This re- suit must be very gratifying to the people of St. Thomas and to the friends of the parish. It places the church on the same footing as l the North Methodist and Windsor avenue Congregational churches, which have recently become free from debt.-Hartford Courant.

Of Wells College, with the lady principal,

college at once, and as the carriage came

handkerchiefs from the balcony and other
convenient points. To the tokens of wei

graceful response and then hurried to her

STRANGE MEDICINES.
The Curious Substances Given to the Sick
i'm Eastern Countries.

The Curious substances Given to the Sick
i'm Eastern Countries.
MISS C. T. Gordon Cumming in the Nine
tenth Century draws attention to some curious
analogies between medical supelstitions pre-
vailing in Japan, China, and Thibet, and
those which were firmly believed in Europe
and in this country until comparatively
recen- period. and which prevail in some re-
mote districts to the present day. Rhinoce-
ros' horn is largely used as drug by Chinese
doctors and It was believed to be an infalli-
BILE antidote to certain poisons by European
physicians in the middle ages. So also the
skulls and flesh of human beings were in Eu-
rope and in the far East believed to possess
valuable medicinal properties. A regular
trade in Egyptian mummies for the use of the
anothecaries was carried on in Europe. At
the present time, Miss Gordon Cumming
saws. the Northumbr cure for warts is to
rub black snail ON the wart, and then inn
pale the snale ON thorn. In the West of
England an cells blood is believed to effect
the same cure. In the neighborhood Of
Stamfordham, Northumbe a hairy cat
erpillar put in bag and tied round child's
neck il held to be remedy for whooping
cough. Spiders in Ireland are believed to
cl,re ague if swallowed alive. In Cornwall
pimples on the eyes are removed by passing
the tail of a black cat nine times over the
mart affected. It seems almost incredible
that such beliefs should continue to exist,
hnt every one who has lived in country dis
trict. and come into close contact with the
neople. will be able to parallel these supersti.
lions with others equally gross, which have
probably lived on for centuries in spite Of
the testimony of experience against them.

A LUCKY MULE.
Pensioned by the Government for Disttn-
guished Services in Several Wars.

su1SHtu services 1H ASeNeEa1 wars
There lives in this country-to be more
particular, at Mount Vernon Ala.-a unique
animal. This distinguished creature is a
= mule. 1t might be supposed that its unique
ness lies in It's kicking, but this is not the
case. 1t is unique because it has been regu-
larly pensioned by the United States gov
ernment. This lucky mules name is Mex
ique He has had long and useful career.
He has certainly served his country in two
wars, and it is believed that he enlisted in
the army even as early as the war of 1912.
When application was made for pension
for Mexique his record was transmitted to
the War Department, the facts being OBJ
careers of army horses and mules are re-
corded. Mexique is now white mule, but
he was sOrrel when, according to the rec
ords, he entered the service during the Mex
lean war. A part of the army when on its
homeward march in 1849 left him at Tampa
Florida.
When the civil war broke out he was still
at Tampa, and during the war he served
throughout the region between that place
and Key West. In 1882 the post at Tampa
was abandoned, and Mexique about Christ
mas time arrived with Battery L, Third Ar
tillery, at the barracks, Mount Vernon, Ala
He was not in good condition, for, shortly
ing from mare for attacking her colt
Soon afterward the officer in command at
Mount Vernon barracks was ordered to sell
all unserviceable draught animals at auction.
This would have included Mexique. In con-
sideration of the distinguished services of
this mule the commandant petitioned the
quartermaster general that Mexique be
allowed to remain in the service, with full
rank and pay, as the officers of the post were
willing to raise fund for that purpose The
petition, going up through various depart
ments, reached General Sherman, who, in
referring the matter to the War Department.,
wrote:
/ have seen that mule. and whether the
story be true or false. the soldiers believe 1t
was left at Big Spring, where Mount Vernon
encamped there about 1919 to 1920. Tradition
says it was once sorrel, but now it is white
from age. The quartermaster's department
will be chargeable with ingratitude If that
mule is sold, or the care or maintenance of it
thrown on the charitable officers of the post.
I advise that it be kept in the department, fed
and maintained till death. / think the mule
was at Fort Morgan when 1 was there in 1S42.
Upon this the Secretary of War issued the
following order:
Let this mule be well cared for as long as he
lives.
Mexique is now feeble. According to
General Sherman he is nearly seventy years
old. He has never recovered from the mares
kick. He has the liberty of the reservation
and many distinguished strangers have
called on him. He is very lucky mule
